The National Science Foundation, a major government funder of basic science research, is being shaken up with over 1,000 grants already terminated and the White House looking to halve its budget.

Good news, meine #IOPsych freunde! They can't terminate your NSF grants if you don't have any!
Our field's inability to attract significant grant funding finally pays off.
Who's the loser now, psychopharmacology nerds @apadiv28.bsky.social?

A simple 1-point leader checklist that is 10X faster than Fortune's:
Question 1 of 1
"Do you think you should be the leader?"
Choose your answer:
A. Yes
B. No
Scoring: Count the # of A and B answers. If the # of A answers is greater than 0, you should definitely NOT be the leader.

If most people are honest with themselves, the answer is no.
“Data from organizational psychology is sobering: Most people are not competent leaders. Studies suggest that 50% to 60% of leaders are seen as ineffective by their employees”

It's very simple:
Committee: "Do you want to be the academic Dept Chairperson?"
Person 1: Yes!
Person 2: No!
Comm: "Person 2 you are now the new Dept Chair."
Person 2: "No! I refuse! You can't make me!" Runs for the door.
Person 1: "But I have so many ideas!"
Comm: "Exactly."

Very true! I would often help my grad students this way by having them participate in weekend-long gardening projects at my home on Ware Street in Cambridge.
Nothing like vigorous outside work around your professor's house to sharpen the young mind!

Psst! The powers-that-be don't seem to recognize the liberal ESG policies most big companies profess.
Perhaps they'll get to it after they've bullied all the DEI policies from American businesses out of existence.
"Target Forward"? More like "Target Acquired"!

Trump-era EEOC is hard at work defending those who have been harmed by corporate malfeasance!
Up next: Dept of Labor to investigate why men's restrooms at work don't have couches, too.

We'll, this explains some things, doesn't it?
📊Research shows that people who endorsed absolute honesty but then lied are viewed as more moral than those who admitted lying can sometimes be appropriate.

We'd best get to work, Herr @iosyislam.bsky.social! I've started copying everything under "Accountants & Auditors" but this is going to take time and a lot of pens and paper.
Does anyone have some grad student time they can donate to the cause? Good opportunity to practice their cursive!
